Who faces being held in quarantine?
All passengers arriving from South Africa and Brazil could be held for up to two weeks in quarantine. The Government has also suspended all short-term visas for people coming from South Africa, Brazil and other South American countries.
The aim is to stop people travelling to Ireland from these regions. However, those that do will face quarantine when it is introduced. Anyone arriving into Ireland without a negative PCR laboratory Covid-19 test also faces quarantine.
How long will they be held?
Anyone arriving from South Africa or Brazil can be held for up to 14 days. Those arriving without a negative test from other countries also face a fortnight in quarantine but may be released after five days if they get a negative test.
As we find ourselves just two weeks away from a comprehensive and permanent change in the relationship between the EU and UK, I am grateful for the opportunity to speak this evening
I promised to keep Members updated on Brexit developments and I think I have kept my word. This is the 18
th “Brexit Statements” session I have taken in the Dáil or Seanad since mid-2017. In that period, the Government has also answered over 3,000 Brexit related PQs, and I have chaired over 20 meetings of the Brexit Stakeholder Forum, which many of you here this evening attend.
I will ask my colleague the Minister for European Affairs to give the House an update on where matters currently stand on the Future Relationship negotiations. We believe that with political will, there is a path to a deal, and welcome that the negotiating teams continue to make every effort to that end.
